Are You Sugar Scrubbing Yet?
Scrubbing your face and body with sugar is a gentle way to exfoliate the skin. The basic ingredients for a sugar scrub includes: Sugar, liquid, a few drops of essential oils, and your favorite moisturizer or lotion.
But why use a sugar scrub?
But why would you want to use a sugar scrub in the first place? Sugar scrubbing is a great way to remove dead skin cells from your body helping to speed up your skins’ renewal process.
How does a sugar scrub help my skin?
As the skin is being massaged in a circular motion, excess oils and grime are removed, the skin is softened, stimulated, and the blood flow beneath the skin is increased – all resulting in a beautiful healthy glow.
Where to start...
First begin by washing your face and body with a gentle soap or other cleanser and warm water.
Fill the palm of your hand with your pre-made sugar scrub and massage it into your skin in a circular motion. The sugar will dissolve naturally, but before it does it will exfoliate your skin.
Rinse the sugar scrub from your body, pat your skin dry with a clean towel, and then follow with moisturizer for your face and body lotion for your body.
